You have a great way about teaching. Not only do you show how to do it correctly, but you show us how to fix mistakes we might make as well. Very articulate and easy to follow. Thank you kindly.

Me: *sees thumbnail on homepage* Huh, a paracord hammock, interesting *continues scrolling* *mentally processing* 15 seconds later: I might need this knowledge one day

You never disappoint me Dave! I remember watching your first video on making the Paracord hammock. I have Dyslexia as well and this method sure does help with those knots! Thanks!!

Outstanding idea ,thank you David, I'll teach this to my grandchildren,they have a great love for the woods and learning.

Glad you revisited this Dave. I watched your first video and made a hammock using the overhand knot method. The reef knot method has to be an improvement. I found the overhand knots to be quite uncomfortable over time without major padding. Hard to believe it's been 7-8 years ago and the hammock I made still holds my large butt. Keep the vids coming brother. Hope to get to your stores new location soon.

The easiest DIY I have ever made that is actually doable. Thank you.

Excellent project Dave! I have made nets this way before but the reef knot is a huge advantage above the overhand knot for sure!

Thanks Dave. Excellent class as always. I look forward to making this hammock soon. Looks like it'll be a nice lightweight addition to my pack. Well considering I already have at least half of the cordage stowed in there already

I say this video last night and today I went and bought about 500 ft of paracord and I'm halfway through building one! This video is so awesome! Thank you!

Thanks for the lesson Dave.You can never get too old to learn a good skill and we appreciate you taking the time to show us.This would be a great project for winter when you are stuck indoors for a few days or even to teach your group sitting around the fire.Why spend a lot of cash when you can use up some of your extra cordage? Again Dave,much thanks,Peace!

Most enjoyable channel on KZread. I could watch your videos all day. Really appreciate the info.

Thank you again these projects are fun I look forward to trying this with my daughter. I hope she is willing to make one herself after we make one for me.

oH SURE... THE DAY AFTER i ORDER ONE FROM eBAY.

Thanks Dave... you are a great teacher. So patient and detail.

awesome!! the first video of yours i ever found was the net/hammock making :) i remember benge watching like 5 hours of ur camping set ups then your slingbow vids been a subber ever since lol

Thank you Dave! I thought you were the best part of DS. Very clear explanation to follow. Take care of yourself.

David, you hitting the gym man? Looking beast mode lately.

nice update i still remember the first vid from years ago now i feel old but much wiser after all these years of watching ur vids

I would like to see the detail of how you tied the ends. I remember your older video. I actually made a net from that video. Great lesson in good detail except for the ends of the hammock.

I made one of these a while back with the thought that it could be used as a raised bed (the type you did a video about using the 6 mil can liners). Great video!

Hey bro . I LOVE all of your videos . I worked off shore back in the early 80s and we would salvage rope used to tie very large boats up , and make hammocks . Never thought about para cord . Thanks man . Im gonna look into this . Keep up the good work . We're lovin it ! Peace .

I've been planning on doing this for quite some time and this video just gave me the confidence to do it!

I've wanted a hammock for years but always needed the money for more important items. Now I can make my own. Thank you. :-)

Great video Dave, have followed you for years. Still learning! 👍

Great way to master the skill. Thanks Dave

This is a great video. Yes I remember watching your video years ago. I love this and I need to make another one. I done one a long time ago as a cargo net. Thank you for doing another video.

Great teaching Dave, really enjoyed it!

Thank you! No bad music and you talk. 💚

Thank you Dave! This looks awesome, I would love to make this!

Just wanted to say "thanks for the hammock vid"... I've not seen a better tutorial than yours on how to make one. Also want to say "Cool Mjölnir"! --- Chris

Hey, thanks for this! I just made a luggage storage area inside of a bike trailer for my dog with this!

Its funny i found this video because i was just talking to my wife this afternoon about wanting to make a paracord hammock and here you are weaving one! Haha thanks for the how to on this! Now my wife can yell at me for another project! Hahaha she means well 😅 always love the content Dave!

The first thing I notice your Thors Hammer. Love from Scandinavian

Great videos as always Dave!

Tnx for sharing this method, i was expecting you using the net making method, which i saw a rather long time ago and realized i have already mostly forgotten. This seems to be a lot easier for making nets (esp. with smaller gages) and also fairly easy to remember (though i guess i will find out in a while when some other netting video shows up and have to realize i forgot this too ~ though i guess for now it looks pretty straight forward) … great skill to have, valuable for a wide range of uses, tnx for sharing !

love the beard , and a great idea.

Awesome skill to learn Dave!, do you feature different paracord variations in your latest book?.

If you learn Macrame you have an entire plethora of knots you can use for many things from hammocks, bags, fish nets, wood carriers, chairs, etc.. The majority of things you see on the net these days has turned macrame into fru, fru crap with all the pretty colors and soft cotton mess but it's so much more than that. My dad hired a woman to teach me when I was 12 years old, I'm 58 now and I've used that knowledge in the outdoors to make super strong useful items.

Holy hell Mr Dave. You been lifting! Your getting swoll

Very nice Dave.

Great video, and this is a project I'm likely to do with my copious free time. Thanks, David!

that is freakin cool Dave.... fun to watch and learn!!

Great job on that hammock Dave, definitely a good skill to know. Beards looking good brotha

another great video Dave

Thank you David for another extremely useful and easy to follow net making video, (And it needs to be easy for me to follow, understand and remember)...!

THIS IS SO BLOODY COOL! Time to order more paracord!

another great video Mr Canterbury thank you i'm learning a'lot from you Sir

This reminds me of my macrame days in the 70's making plant hangers, it's fun!!! Great skill to learn.

It’s funny that you say 7 years ago. I didn’t think it was that long. Lol I still have the one I made when you put out the first video on this. Great vid to revisit.

Great video as always! Love the mjolnir!

Iv been thinking about making a hammack this videos the best one iv seen yet. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge

I suddenly just heard my phone talking in my pocket and it was this video on. It's a sign that I need to build a hammock today.

Very detailed visual explanation, usefull skill to have if you have the time to make said hammock. atleast with this method you would still have a boat load of cordage to use incase things go sideways. Still very awesome video, very much appreciate the time and effort you put into making it this turtorial for us all.

Great video Dave very good quality😎

Thanks David! I've always want to know how to this!😊

This is very cool. You were thorough in describing the needs of materials too. Do you also have a video that goes through how to secure this to the (inside of a) roof of an SUV or mini-van? (When doing it for a cargo net)

grate skill to practice... tks for the class!

This is an awesome and really great to know for survival. Thanks for the vid.

Gosh , Sir, that was beautifully explained , thanks a lot👍

Yup remember that video believe you gave it to your nephew ! Its was small great vid as always take care brother

Fantastic, thank you!

Dude you kick arse! Thanks for the awesome tips bro! Your skills are righteous dude! Again thanks for the tutorial it was awesome and very helpful!

Very nice Dave good tutorial

Nice video!! I was waiting for some one who make this kynd of this with Paracord! From argentina👋🇦🇷

Good stuff Dave, Thanks!

Mighty fine. Thanks Dave

I wonder how #36 tarred bank line would work with a smaller mesh opening. ...say a 2" mesh instead of 4"? Thanks for the video Dave.

That’s lotta work Dave awesome 💪🏻👍🏻

Thank you for your wisdom. I really enjoy to see what you can do. It's a art if you can make cord and than make a nice fishnet or something. Grtz

The lighting changes in the middle of the video remind me of The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons.

Great skill to have, thanks Dave.👍

Cool. Thanks for showing.

Awesome look fairly easy to accomplish.. tnx Dave

great! thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much! This is the best tutorial I could have found!

Kick ass job Dave. Thank you sir.

Great video again!! I remember the other video from a few years ago and watching these two videos is very satisfying and makes me want to make my own hammock!

Nice work.

Thanks for the knowledge mate

Bom dia, David!! Obrigado por compartilhar seu conhecimento e tempo. Congratulation ! Have good day!

i appreciate your information so much man so thank you.

How do you calculate the amount of para cord needed for a panel? I think this would make great pet fencing for campgrounds. Darlington, SC

It’s a cool skill, but if I was in a survival situation without the required amount of paracord on me for a hammock, I would probably figure out an easier solution instead of creating enough rope from processed material. Great for the other things you mentioned, though, like traps or scenarios where you would need a net in general. Thanks for the tutorial!

Is there a way to determine the length of cordage needed depending on either/or the width of the hammock or size of the mesh (larger or smaller)? I.E. if I want a tighter mesh hammock or a wider hammock, how much do I start with. I realize that a 48" wide hammock with a tight mesh versus one with a wide mesh will use up more cord.

Really nice. I'm going to make a small gear hammock like this with micro cord.

Pretty cool idea, but does it really offer a comfortable surface? We used to have these military type of mesh-hammocks for luggage; but they were not meant for proper rest, despite being handy for bigger backpacks.

This is great! I'm going to make a water bottle sling like this, and maybe a hammock for my camper shell! Love the tutorial; incredibly useful!

Thank you for showing us this it is a great idea good sir🎩

Brother, this is a great video, very VERY informative. I got the idea to make a 550 Hammock for my father for his 70th birthday and your video was not only the first one that came up, but also the best one. I’ll be tying along with you soon! That’s a lot of cord though? About how much did you use?

Weights on the ends of the drop lines and use of a story stick that you hang on the vertical line helps keep the knots uniform.

Nice father day gift and it’s homemade

Thank You

thank you so much for your showing easy process of fensing net.

👌👍 thanks Dave

Great job can you do a vid on how you deal with ticks how to get rid of them and how to prevent them

Ha, started one as a test back in 1963 while on USS Ranger . How much para- cord did you use ? Great info / demo. Thanks Dave ! Mtn Mel, Ret. 59,- 82 USN /SERE / VN.

awesome! thank you very much for sharing!

Thank you body from Argentina.

Thanks Dave now i have diy project to weekend.

I have a mesh hammock that's to small for me. Maybe I can make it wider and longer with this method ?

just make a net needle and gauge and make yourself one from scratch, fun project not as long to make as you think (once you get into the groove of it)
